An extended shadow is a high school age or older individual who wishes to explore more than one job/career area or who is seeking hours (more than 24 hours) as a pre-requisite to admission to a particular academic program. Students follow host employees through normal activities which may include patient contact. The extended shadow may engage in job specific entry level (non-invasive) activities under direct and continual supervision of the hosting employee but never engages in independent activities nor provides patient care, testing, or treatment. Extended shadow experiences are accepted on a first come basis and are accommodated only after all pre-requisites have been completed.
